Spring compressors are made to compress the spring for removal. I would not
use one to shorten the spring while the car is being driven. Comp springs
are about the best answer. Cutting would be my second choice. Cutting
shortens the spring and increases the spring rate.

They are made to compress a spring, but using them "in flight" means
loading
the bolts dynamically, meaning each substantial bump is going unload/load
those threads, and unless they are acme threads (very expensive to make)
they
are not built for that.
You can cut a coil, the trick is getting both sides level, and reacting the
same. (better cut it cold, no torches)
The wheels sound cool, but I think you'll be subtracting rubber to get Zero
offset to fit without rubbing. There is a lot of discussion of wheel
fitment
and what folks have tried on 311s.org.
